“Medical cannabis use is recognized legally in almost half of the states, yet getting approval to study the health benefits of the drug is harder than getting a medical marijuana license. So it was a big deal last spring when Dr. Sue Sisley at the University of Arizona won rare federal approval to test marijuana’s effects on veterans with PTSD. Local government funding meant for the program was canceled after a state senator challenged using the money for Sisley’s research. After Sisley argued against the de-funding of her program, pressure from state government ultimately led to her dismissal from the University of Arizona, according to Sisley.”
